Although it is recommended that you have a secondary display to use Convert
DVI, you can also use Convert DVI with only your primary display by
duplicating (cloning) your primary desktop onto your Convert DVI desktop.
You can configure the Convert DVI's desktop settings using the Windows display
settings for your secondary display as explained in "Configuring your display
settings for use with Convert DVI" on page 17.

Using Matrox Convert DVI in stand-alone mode

Once you've configured Matrox Convert DVI, you can program Convert DVI to
stand-alone mode using your last-applied configuration settings. When using
Convert DVI in stand-alone mode, you can disconnect the USB cable from the
host computer and use Convert DVI with any device that has a DVI-D output in a
supported desktop resolution. For example, you can connect Convert DVI to the
DVI output from a camera or medical device, or the DVI output from a different
computer from the host computer that you used to configure Convert DVI.
When using Convert DVI in stand-alone mode, the DVI input to Convert DVI is
converted to high-quality video and output through Convert DVI's SDI and
analog outputs according to the programmed configuration settings. In order to
preview the Convert DVI desktop, you can connect a DVI monitor to the DVI
OUT on Convert DVI.
For more information on stand-alone mode, see "Programming Convert DVI to
stand-alone mode" on page 33.
Using DVI to HDMI and DVI to DisplayPort
adapters
If the device that you want to connect to Convert DVI's DVI input or output does
not have a DVI connector, you can use an HDMI to DVI adapter, or a DisplayPort
to DVI adapter to connect your device to Convert DVI (VGA to DVI adapters are
not supported).
